Muslim group calls for Tory inquiry into party’s ‘structural Islamophobia’

Muslim Council of Britain writes to Conservative chair over comments made by Liz Truss, Lee Anderson and Suella Braverman

Britain’s largest Muslim group has written to the Conservative party to call for an investigation into “structural Islamophobia” within the party’s ranks.

In a letter addressed to the Conservative chair, Richard Holden, the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said Islamophobia in the party was “institutional, tolerated by the leadership and seen as acceptable by great swathes of the party membership”.
